The funny thing about the internet is that it can never keep anything secret, even when projects are more than a year out from being complete. With Batman: Arkham City being all the buzz out of Warner Bros. Interactive and DC Comics, any bit of information coming out of either camps is solid gold. So when these twenty pictures dropped this morning, how could we not share?

Keep in mind that as beautiful as these look, they are still not giving up anything on the upcoming business of the game. However, what has been announced has been surprising. The caped crusader won’t be going it alone this time: he will have a partner in campaigned co-op. No word yet as to who that may be, but given the emphasis on the sultry Catwoman… the love interest may play a pivotal part.
